Early in this thread, there's some exploration of the moralistic framework of a "fall" into 3D STS, recognizable both from some modern channeling and of course the Bible. This is tied to moralistic visions of good futures and bad futures, and an almost cartoonish good vs. evil struggle in the world. The more sci-fi extrapolations of how the future may look if you believe the Cassiopaeans are summarized pretty well here.
I have some thoughts on an opposite. It's easy to reconcile the idea that biological life as we know it on Earth (humanity and the rest) is mostly selfish with the idea that people in this world are not very consciously STS. Biological life as we know it is primarily a gory spectacle of life forms eating life forms, but for the most part this is instinctive or hard-wired, thus it's not a conscious orientation. Humanity is growing into consciousness but quite limited in how much of its life is consciously directed; a great deal of life is automatic, biologically driven, the adventures of "meat robots". It's only to the degree that the automatism of biology is grown past that conscious metaphysical polarity can even enter the picture.
Unfortunately, when people try to organize stuff in a more conscious way, in large part it begins oriented around the instinctive drives to hoard resources, avoid losses, etc., and so what builds on a large and collective level can for a long time end up with more negative features than positive. As unity100 mentioned, you see it in how people organize everything around money.
Organic life is limited, so much time and focus is swallowed up by biological needs, and this limits how much consciousness can possibly grow, before a full change of paradigm takes place to something else that people can't currently imagine using the imagination provided by the human brain. I think different forms of life unimaginable by human minds could possibly have much better starting points, ending up with much less messy histories.
Note that whenever people imagine other forms of life in the universe, and especially stories of them interacting with humanity, it ends up imagining something very similar to human dramas -- that's because people use human brains wired for human dynamics to imagine all dynamics. So people imagine human dramas with superficial changes on top of the same old psychology, dressing it up differently a little like space opera actors do. All the stories about exopolitics sound like human tribes or societies interacting with only small changes to it all, and that's how you know that the stories are really human stories, made to fit too-small human imaginations that reduce everything in the universe to human monkey-business (possibly thinly disguised).
But now I'm rambling...
